"Snowflake" oolong tea from the Phoenix Mountains, China
Our newly arrived snowflake Dancong with a sweet, fruity fragrance, reminding of berry jam, and a toasty-buttery flavor with the main note of sweet potato. The flavor is gentle and silky. The tea is from the winter batch, harvested in October, that's where the name Xue Pian (snowflake) comes from. Snowflake oolongs are only lightly roasted, which makes their flavor deliciously fresh.
The liquor has a bright amber color, slightly spicy, sweet, and nutty.
Tong Tian is definitely more tolerant than most snowflake oolongs, even with a little longer (30-40 sec.) first infusions it doesn't get very tannic.

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan or teapot, let it sit for a little while, then discard all the water.
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 3g/100ml ratio, pour boiling water on them and brew for 30 seconds.
STEP 3) Serve. Pour the tea into a pitcher, and then into cups.
STEP 4) Brew again.
❖ For the second infusion, steep it for about half the time of the first infusion. For every other infusion after that increase the steeping time (to about 35-40 seconds).
❖ Make sure to open the lid of the teapot between infusions, to prevent the leaves from cooking.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the most.
